Abstract

The report “Specialisation Training Course” is the description of the blended

and work based learning in Mu.SA training programme provided from

September 2019 until April 2020 by the Mu.SA consortium. Includes a study

work plan, a selection of digital content modules for the special competences

that have been selected for the specialization course uploaded to the e-

learning platform, work based learning, assessment techniques.

Here are described the four Specialisation Courses, each developed for one of

the four role profiles. The Mu.SA – Museum Sector Alliance project resulted in

four emerging role – profiles: Digital Strategy Manager, Digital

Collections Curator, Digital Interactive Experience Developer and

Online Community Manager, which were updated and revised according to

the needs of museum professionals.

1 Introduction

As detailed in the Mu.SA Methodology (R3.2), a set of competences was

identified as “common” for the four different VET curricula; these

competences were proven as essential for the four different job role profiles,

therefore they were delivered to all through a MOOC (Massive Open Online

Course). The MOOC was online learning while the specialization course

employed blended learning and work-based learning. The candidates who

have completed successfully the MOOC entitled “Essential Skills for Museum

Professionals” were able to go through an application procedure, so to apply

for the Specialization Course and select a Role profile.

Totally, about 120 candidates were selected to continue with the

Specialization Course in the Mu.SA project countries (Greece, Portugal and

Italy). The specialization course for each different job role profile

implemented, included online, face-to-face and work based learning. The

access for the registered learners to the Specialisation course Platform was

available through the link: https://mooc.cti.gr/musa.html.

Each leaner was able to get access only to the preferred course and the

selected role profile, in which s/he would like to be specialised.

Having been selected to enter its second phase, aiming to further improve

digital and transversal competences based on preferable Mu.SA profile,

learners were now able to attend a blended course, an online and face to face

learning, through the Specialization Course platform.

Successful learners would gain a Certification for the acquired knowledge with

Title of the Role Profile, the grade of activities and ECVET credits they

achieved!

In detail, each specialization course included (see Table 1):

(A) Blended training course lasted 24 weeks (6 months) with an extension of

1 month, with an effort of approximately 15h of study / week (totally 360h of

study)

A1: Online and self-study (288h) (material)

A2: Face-to-face sessions (24h = 6 x 4h) (once a month) (incl. Skype

sessions)

A3: Assessment (48h)

(B) Work-based learning lasted 10 weeks, approximately 20,5h of work

in the placement / week (totally 205h)

• B1: Work placement (200h)

• B2: Assessment (5h)

(C) Training activities with face to face sessions in partner countries.

The Blended training course has foreseen 336h of educational material (in total

for all Job Role profiles) for the online and self-study components, plus the

assessment components. The online learning – divided into competence

modules – included mainly online learning materials in the forms of

presentations, texts, additional readings and videos. They were built following a

coherent methodology, ensuring the quality through multiple rounds of technical

and scientific reviews. Obviously, there were some common competences for

more than one Specialisation course

The learning resources were developed following pre-defined learning outcomes,

supporting the implementation of various EU tools (e.g. ECVET, recognition of

occupation profiles, etc). These (learning) outcomes were also used to define

the assessment objects (through online quizzes).

In order to bridge the gap with the practice, the competence modules were also

including practical assignments, typically essays and case studies, submitted by

the learners to the tutors for grading.

Last, a set of indicative work-based learning activities was delivered to the

learners to support them for their work-based learning. The work-based

learning was assessed through a report and a presentation (predefined formats)

also submitted for grading (by the local VET provider – Mu.SA partner).

The final grade was estimated automatically by the platform, taking into account

the grades per competence module, and the grade of the work-based learning.

The educational content Blended training course was developed using the

existing Methodology (as described and implemented in the framework of

WP3, see R3.2) with some modifications as shown below.

The table below presents the appropriate total amount of educational material

that is delivered.

Table 2 – Educational material characteristics (spec. courses)

Core material consists of material similar to the one developed for the MOOC

(Learning (educational) objects and Assessment Objects). The only difference is

that, the e-learning material for the Specialization course mostly consists of

lectures (self-running presentation – power point presentation with voice over)

and additional material of any kind for self-study (papers, videos, e-books etc.).

The design and development process is the same as it is for the MOOC.

Practical assignments can include one or more of educational material types

as project, example or activity (case study, problem solving, text composition,

open ended question) that can be assigned on the learner level, in order to

enhance trainee engagement and the quality of learning. The design and

development process is the same as this of the MOOC.

For each Job Role Profile a competence participates into, multiple practical

assignments will be developed customized and adjusted for every profile (in

collaboration with the local learning clusters or social partner or a museum

professional / expert).

Based on the outcomes of WP2, each e-CF competence should be taught to a

particular level that corresponds to the EQF.

• e-3 (e-CF) = Level 6 EQF

• e-4 (e-CF) = Level 7 EQF

• e-5 (e-CF) = Level 8 EQF

In the 4 Mu.SA Specialization Courses, each course will specialize the

participant in the following competences allocated to selected role profile, to 21

advanced competences from e-CF, like: Service Level Management, Product

/ Service Planning, Application Design, Sustainable Development, Application

Development, Testing, Solution Deployment, Documentation Production, User

Support, Change Support, Service Delivery, Problem Management, Information

Security Strategy Development, ICT Quality Strategy Development, Education

and Training Provision, Purchasing, Information and Knowledge Management,

Digital Marketing, Risk Management, Process Improvement, Business Change

Management.

And to 6 basic DigComp competences: Copyright and licenses,

Programming, Solving technical problems, Protecting personal data and privacy,

Identifying digital competences gaps and Managing digital identity.

Apart from the digital competences needed for the digital literacy of

professionals in culture and museums, transferable or so-called 21st

century competences also were selected for the MOOC and the Specialization

courses. The 21st century learning is typically used to describe the types of

competencies needed to thrive in today’s complex and interconnected global

landscape.

In the Specialization courses, the participants were specialized in: Mentoring/

coaching skills, Analyze and synthesize information, Negotiation skills,

Networking skills, Sense of initiative and entrepreneurship, Resilience, Decision

making, Management skills, Interpersonal skills, Mediation skills, Influence/

persuasion skills, Active listening skills, Storytelling, Fact-driven, Integrity/

ethical skills.

In the next chapters, are listed the digital and the transferable competences,

developed for the Mu.SA training programme, per role profile.

The Appendix gives the meanings for each of the competence provided on the

e-CF, DigComp Frameworks and the 21st century skills as well as the estimation

of the consortium based on the level of competence taught and the hours of the

time effort needed for each competence in Mu.SA blended learning.
